What is Call Blocking?
Create boundaries for your time and phone line
Fed up with calls from salespeople who won’t accept “No” for an answer? Or customers and tyre kickers who suck up your valuable time?
You’ll love our Call Blocking feature. Cut out unwanted calls to your business and get back time to serve your ideal customers. Block selected inbound calls to your virtual number from a range of sources.
Why use Call Blocking?
Business that want to restrict inappropriate sales people and nuisance customers
Get back valuable time

Smart geographic blocking
Stop callers from specific geographic locations or regions getting through. Focus on serving your ideal audience and customers and optimise both your time and your team’s efforts.
